Online sofa brand Sofa Club smashes Glasgow launch as clicks turn into showrooms
Fast growing upholstery retailer Sofa Club has opened its first Scottish showroom in Glasgow and the launch has been a major success. The new 3,200 square foot store on London Road welcomed hundreds of shoppers on its opening weekend and achieved more than three times its sales target.
The space allows customers to experience the brand’s modern sofas in person, with relaxed room set layouts and lifestyle styling that reflects its online identity. Corner sofas, statement modular pieces and family sized designs dominate the floor, appealing to younger homeowners and busy family buyers alike.
From online start up to showroom success
Sofa Club started life online and has grown rapidly thanks to stylish marketing, fast delivery and social media exposure. In recent years it has moved towards physical retail with locations in Liverpool, Hertford and Lakeside, and now Glasgow. Reports suggest the company is posting strong profits and intends to expand further across the UK.
Why this Glasgow opening matters for sofa retail
The launch highlights a clear shift in sofa retail. Customers still want the convenience of browsing online but increasingly value being able to test sofas in person. The mix of online inspiration and physical experience is proving powerful, as shown by Sofa Club’s strong visitor numbers and opening week results.
The brand’s approach blends fashion and function with a focus on comfort and affordable luxury. Its stores are designed to feel like real living spaces, helping customers imagine how their chosen sofas will look at home.
What it means for Sofa Max customers in Lancashire
For shoppers across Lancashire this trend underlines how important in person experience has become. At Sofa Max in Accrington we have championed that idea for years. Our 18,000 square foot factory style showroom is filled with in stock designer sofas, Italian leather sofas and reclining sofas from Natuzzi and other leading Italian makers, all available for fast delivery across the North West.
While many online retailers are now opening their first showrooms, Sofa Max has already perfected the balance of choice, comfort and value. Customers can sit, compare and buy from genuine in stock offers and ex display pieces at outlet pricing, without long factory waiting times.
Sofa shoppers today are doing more research and looking for trust, transparency and genuine value. That is exactly what our Lancashire showroom provides, with clear pricing, honest advice and immediate delivery on many lines.
Key takeaway
The success of Sofa Club’s Glasgow launch shows that sofa buyers still want to relax into the real thing before committing to a purchase. For Lancashire customers, Sofa Max continues to offer that same hands on experience with some of the best corner sofas, reclining sofas and Italian leather sofas available anywhere in the UK.
